Introduction

Coconut oil has become the most well-publicized beauty secret in years. Add a little essential oil and you have instant beard balm.

Step 1

Gather Ingredients

You’ll need a coconut oil, essential oils, and a small container for the finished product.

Step 2

Measure Coconut Oil

Scoop out two tablespoons of coconut oil into a small dish and melt.

Step 3

Add Essential Oils

Add essential oils. For our blend, we used a mix of tea tree, bergamot, and frankincense. Keep in mind that coconut oil has a stronger smell than other carrier oils, so it’s best to choose essential oil scents that either work with the coconut, or are strong enough to mask it. The mix we used results in a clean, spicy, slightly sweet scent.

Step 4

Pour and Cool

Now pour the mix into your container and allow to come to room temperature, at which point, it will solidify.
